Pigsty Pie, Done

This is one of those meals that you can make in various ways. For instance you could make the mash and cook the filling then leave to cool and put into the fridge separately to layer together later. You could also make cheesy mash instead of having a top layer of cheese and mash underneath.

It's also a great meal to have on standby in the fridge. Make it the night before you want it and then just pop into the oven to cook. If there's any leftover it microwaves really well.

Gouda also works really well with this recipe as an alternative to Gruyere.

So that's the Free From G Pigsty Pie, perfect for a hearty cold winter evening dinner and totally gluten free.
